Professional Development Units (PDU) for PMI certified professionals:

The introduction of the updated CCR system has resulted in a much simpler procedure for claiming PDUs. As before, there are no specific PDU codes for events that award up to 2 PDUs. Each PMI Houston meeting with a 1-hour presentation, on a PM Talent Triangle topic, equals 1 PDU. (The category for each presentation will be indicated on the website) This includes dinner meetings, pre-dinner meetings, and meetings at any of PMI Houston's satellite venues. If you attended both pre-dinner and dinner presentations, please submit 2 PDU claims following the process below for each presentation event.
